Stephan Schulz Date of birth: July 12, 1966 Position: Professor of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Duisburg-Essen E-mail: stephan.schulz@uni-due.de Homepage: https://www.uni-due.de/ak_schulz/index_en.php Education: 1992 Undergraduate degree, University of Göttingen 1994 PhD supervised by Herbert W. Roesky, University of Göttingen 1994–1996 Postdoctoral position with Richard F. Jordan, University of Iowa 2001 Habilitation in the group of Edgar Niecke, University of Bonn Awards: 1994 Research Fellowship (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft; DFG); 1996 Liebig Fellowship (Fonds der Chemischen Industrie); 1999 Fellowship for habilitation (DFG) Current research interests: Structure and reactivity of (low-valent) organometallic compounds and their application in materials synthesis Hobbies: Jogging, watching soccer, spending time with friends and family The most important thing I learned from my students is to be prepared for everything. The principal aspect of my personality is to tell things as they are. The natural talent I would like to be gifted with is not to tell things as they are. If I could be a piece of lab equipment, I would be an NMR tube since I like to spin around. My motto is “Maach et joot, ävver nit zo off” (a saying from the Rhineland meaning “do it well, but not too often”, i.e., quality over quantity). I am waiting for the day when someone will realize that scientific discoveries not necessarily follow three-year research programs. Last time I went to the pub my friends and I solved almost every problem in the world—unfortunately we couldn't remember the next day. If I could be anyone for a day, I would be food taster for Keith Richards (but only for one day). I admire people with a consistent life plan who always know exactly what comes next. I advise my students to explore their own way in life, and to be careful with advice given by people like me. The secret of being a successful scientist is something I am still looking for. My favorite structure is that of chlorine azide—a beautiful beast. My 5 top papers: References 1“Van der Waals epitaxial MOCVD-growth of (BixSb1−x)2Te3 (0<x<1) films”: G. Bendt, J. Sonntag, A.
